Chapter 143 The Sickly Villain in a Female-dominated World 14
When Lin Yong came in, she was first startled by the fair-faced Lin Qing, and thought to herself that this cousin was really weak. Then her attention was attracted by Chen Xi who was standing in front of the bed.
What a handsome man!
Chen Xi was born tall, with a slender figure, distinct facial features, and a fresh and handsome look. In addition, he had been immersed in books recently, which added a bit of elegance to his demeanor.
"Cousin, how are you? I'm sorry I was ill and couldn't come to meet you yesterday." Lin Qing looked at the heroine in the original book. Her face was full of innocence and childishness. After all, she was still a school-going child at the age of 16 or 17 in her previous life.
"Hello, sister." Lin Yong hurriedly bowed, her face flushed secretly. Why was she staring at her cousin's husband so intently?
However, my cousin's husband is so handsome and looks just like her.
The graduation gift she promised her mother in her previous life was to go to a concert of her favorite singer after the college entrance examination.
Who would have known that she would be transported to such a magical world before she even took the college entrance examination? If she had known that she would be transported through time, why would she have gotten up early and studied hard from dawn to dusk?
"Yong'er, you must take a good look around when you come to the mansion. The scenery in the countryside has a unique flavor." Lin Qing took a breath and continued, "It's just a coincidence that I've been suffering from the heat recently, so I'm afraid I can't accompany you."
"You don't have to worry about that." Mrs. Lin interrupted her daughter, "Xilang, you take care of Qing'er first. Yong'er, I was in a hurry last night, and there are still many things in your yard that have not been arranged. I don't know if there is anything that does not suit your taste. If there is, please bring it up directly. It happens that I am free now, why don't we go and take a look together?"
Lin Yong was stunned. Looking at her cousin who was trying to stay awake on the bed, she immediately understood the implication of her husband's words, so she agreed, bowed, and left the west courtyard.
The arrival of the heroine had no impact on Lin Qing's life. She continued to take medicine, sleep, and play with her husband every day.
Needless to say, it feels different to have a husband. Before, even in the summer, her bed was cold. Now that her husband has moved in with her, there is always someone to warm her feet when she feels cold at night. If she gets up at night or drinks water, the person next to her can always react first and perceive her needs.
For Chen Xi, the biggest change in recent days is that his sanctifying filter for his wife is showing signs of being broken.
Especially at night, his wife would always explore her body with curiosity. At first, he felt shy and annoyed, but of course, he was also secretly happy.
He also discovered that his wife seemed to have some little quirks that were different from others, such as a particular liking for the muscles on his belly?
He had originally felt inferior about his body shape not being as delicate and supple as other young men, but now he finally felt relieved.
Looking at his wife drawing at the desk again, Chen Xi took the hot soup from the maid, walked over gently, and placed the wooden tray on the desk.
"My dear wife, please have some hot soup first!"
Lin Qing frowned, placed the brush on the jade pen holder, then blew the hot air on the edge of the bowl, tested the temperature, and drank it all in one gulp.
After several experiments, the carpenters in the palace found that the best way to use iron rings on the rollers of the threshing box was to thresh the rice cleanly while also being wear-resistant and not easily damaged. In addition, the shaft of the lever was also replaced with iron products to ensure that the threshing box would not break down for years.
However, this will greatly increase the production cost.
I'm afraid it's not something ordinary farmers can afford.
Chen Xi, who had been following her recently, naturally knew what his wife was worried about. He pursed his lips and looked at Lin Qing with eyes full of admiration and respect. This was his wife, who was knowledgeable, respected her husband, and cared about the world. She had no worries about food and clothing herself, but she was worried about the farmers in the countryside, even though those people had nothing to do with her.
Even, thinking of the gossip he had heard in the countryside before, a hint of depth flashed across Chen Xi's lowered eyes. His wife was really kind-hearted. Just as his father said, he had to work hard to become strong and protect her.
During these days, Chen Xi would go to the main courtyard every morning to pay his respects to Master Lin, and then learn how to manage the food. When Lin woke up in the morning, he would go back to his room to take care of her according to the doctor's instructions and cultivate the relationship between the couple.
After lunch, he would take a short nap, then practice a few pieces of calligraphy and hand them over to the female teacher before continuing the half-hour class.
After the class, he would usually go back to his room to arrange matters for the servants in the yard, and then accompany his wife to look up information and make equipment models. The most important thing was to keep an eye on someone and not let him get overworked due to being too involved.
In the evening, the couple would take a walk along the path outside the house, feel the gentle evening breeze, and listen to the whisper of the wind in the woods.
Occasionally, farmers would see a young couple walking together and would often bow respectfully, then select some fresh fruits from the fields and give them to the servants behind them. Although these farmers could not say sweet words, they would express their love with the simplest actions.
Lin Yong, who had already walked around the area and was feeling a little bored, saw this scene from afar. She couldn't help but ask the servants in the mansion out of curiosity.
The young man who was asked straightened his back immediately and proudly told the lady from the capital about the achievements of his young master. First, he couldn't bear to see the farmers suffer and built a threshing box. Then, he made the drawings public and allowed nearby craftsmen to use them without seeking fame or fortune, which greatly shortened the time for threshing this year.
"Go out and ask around. Every farmer in the nearby villages will speak highly of our young master!"
Lin Yong, who was showing off, laughed. The experiences of the past few days really taught her a hard lesson, especially the lower-class farmers who could only barely feed themselves after working hard for half a year.
In her previous life, she had never even seen a live chicken or duck. The poorest people she could imagine were the left-behind children living in tiled houses in the countryside, but no matter what, they never had to worry about food and clothing.
The children of their generation have almost never felt hungry since they were born.
But during this trip to the Lin Mansion, it seemed as if someone had ripped off the fig leaf that had covered her eyes. It turned out that this world was not only about the luxurious life in the capital, but also the struggle for survival of the common people in the countryside.
This confused the little girl who originally just wanted to talk about love. She couldn't find the meaning of her coming to this world.
Why is it her? She can't lift anything with her hands or shoulders, but because of the college entrance examination, her head is still filled with some knowledge... knowledge? !
Lin Yong's eyes lit up. Could it be that the time-travelling god was planning to let him use his advanced knowledge to change the world?
But after searching her mind, she found in despair that apart from being able to recite a few poems, the rest of the knowledge she had was almost useless. Especially after carefully inquiring about Lin Qing's deeds, she couldn't help but doubt her own brain.
There were geniuses in ancient times too. The original owner's cousin was so weak but she was able to get the top spot in high school at the age of sixteen. She was bedridden for three and a half years and was on the verge of death, but she was able to use the principle of leverage to invent such a practical rice threshing box.
If she could use the principle of levers, she would be able to solve the questions on the test paper. She couldn't even tell the difference between rice seedlings and weeds!
